Well, it has been an uncommonly busy month, and in case you haven't noticed, I haven't posted in a while. So, I give you a meager sampling of what has been going on in my neck of the forest. I have sent off an application to an art camp (which will be held this summer), and I received my confirmation packet the other day. I'm excited. Do I sound excited? Okay, Okay. I'm EXCITED!!! That better? Good. I purchased my new, glossy white, MacBook in April, and trust me, all the ads, all the hype -- they aren't kidding. Macs are great, and the PC is a thing of the past in my humble opinion. I'm still trying waiting on getting my graphics pipeline set up, (e.g. Photoshop and PainterX), but I'm still learning the Mac OS, which takes a while. I have too many ideas, I think, and that makes me not want to start on any of them. Let me explain. I want to write a steampunk novel trilogy, so I have sort of started on it. But I have trouble making myself sit down and write. I really need to practice drawing, and start learning to paint, but I just don't... well... do it! I need to prioritize BAD. I'll let you know in fifty years if anything gets started on the trilogy thing. In the meantime, Stay tuned! I am reading a lot though. I finished reading C. S. Lewis' Mere Christianity the other day, and it is fabulous. You really need to read it, because he explains everything about the "basics" of the Christian faith in a plain, conversational, and at times very British, way. I need to get back to my book list, but until then, keep reading. It is good for your brain. Oh, I'm also reading an abridged version of some of Shakespeare's plays, and I finished The Wednesday Letters the other week too. Whew, you didn't know I did so much did you? I have also been reading the book of First and Second Kings in my daily devotions. I absolutely love the stories about Elijah. He is extremely devout, and he can care less about idols. I really want to do a graphic novel someday, illustrating some of the Old Testament battles and heroes. No Manga though. Just real, colorful, Photoshop-ed drawings. And then, to top it all off, I got my braces taken off yesterday!! {Dub in huge orchestral fanfare} No I'm not posting a picture. But it is really great to be free from those metallic fangs. Sorry for not posting in a while. Do me a favor. Read first Kings. Then Second Kings. Then illustrate them. Or I can. When I get time. Give Jesus the preeminence. ---misterbingley
